Android Spinner: Get the selected item change event

Question

How can you set the event listener for a Spinner when the selected item changes?

Basically what I am trying to do is something similar to this:

spinn         


        

Answer 1

Spinner spnLocale = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spnLocale);

spnLocale.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView adapterView, View view, int i, long l) { 
        // Your code here
    } 

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView adapterView) {
        return;
    } 
}); 

Note: Remember one thing.

Spinner OnItemSelectedListener event will execute twice:

1. Spinner initialization
2. User selected manually

Try to differentiate those two by using flag variable.
